On the subject of this though if anyone has any good ideas of how to do a champions league or something for next season im all ears. I was thinking about just putting everyone who got a top 4 place this season into a cup next season but havent really thought it through. Maybe all the 5th place finishers and cup winner could go into a small europa cup aswell.

I had a little think about it:
There are currently 40 users who have finished in the champions league in 100+ games (v4-v17 inclusive). Which means there will be somewhere between 40 and 52 eligible users after v20. This would mean a 15 week competition as follows:

You could include a couple of rest weeks to pad it out to 17 weeks if that's going to be the standard season length.

*Qualifying would obviously be used to whittle down the eligible users to 32. The details would depend on the numbers, but, if for instance there are 40 eligible users, the lowest ranked 16 would play each other.

The magic of the cup was out in full force this week, with yet more shocks, giant killings and utterly disgraceful performances. Most games were incredibly tight and went down to the last question, as the competition is now definitely entering a squeaky bum time, of sorts.

Our "favourites" yet again found the tag to be a curse - last week's 2 favourites crashed out, and this time around, despite an incredible CL finish, pentargo was wiped out by Chandelier.

pieces_of_reece defied their odds to edge out Mr. Consistent - Juninho10. No doubt those who backed them at 99/1 will be rubbing their hands together right now.

The highest losing score was 498, registered by pentargo
The lowest winning score was 385, registered by lordscopie

put it on me. Despite what the draw says I have had 2 PL and 1 L1 finish in the last three weeks.
Also there are 39 places between me and p_o_r in the league compared with:
amps/chickenbones 8 places
theguywithnousername/film_maker 6 places
Chandelier vs p_a_u_l 30 places

Sudden and unexpected success has led to massive disharmony off the pitch at FC Chandelier, leading to major turbulence and huge lack of confidence. Slide down the table and serious financial problems likely etc etc. I'm not sure how to stretch this football metaphor any further.
I will be like the England cricket team finally making it to no 1 in the world and getting bowled out for 72.
